Park has 2 separate playgrounds, the upper one is quite a bit smaller. The lower playground is larger and has a large boulder that is used for climbing. Park is in good repair and the restrooms are generally clean. Attached is the Anderson Aquatic Center with a pool and water slide complex.

I was actually very surprised I didnt know it had all that usually from the bus all you see is the baseball field never knew all that was back there I was very grateful that the bathrooms were clean but the door was hard to open special being in the wheelchair wheres the doors were a little bit more easier to open they could use some remodeling some of the ground was lifted up Ill be in the wheelchair was hard to kind of get around I thank God that the ground was not with that day it made a little bit easy travel but I was surprised about what it look like might hold something there myself one day

The park feels safe, has bathrooms, a tennis court, and a pool. The park is likely difficult to drive out of because its on College.

Great park. Very large playground that has ramps for handicapped accessibility. Shelter with tables nearby for picnics. This is very close to the Childrens Museum, which also should not be missed. Also, numerous eateries nearby too.

Love taking the dog for a walk threw Anderson Park! Its beautiful! Has a gigantic play area for the kiddies. And a smaller one at the opposite side. A few good sized gazebos for barbecues and parties. Baseball diamond and basketball court.Very nice swimming pool with slides and diving boards. Also a separate area with shallow pools and toys for smaller kids. You could spend all day here. Pack a lunch basket and enjoy the day

Nice, simple park with good playground equipment, a covered area with bench-type tables, grills, and a basketball court. The place gets a little busy once the public pool opens, but its still a nice place to go for a young family.
